The Future of Recreation at UBC

In early 2017, UBC Recreation with support from Campus & Community Planning began the development of a draft strategic framework around a new vision of recreation at UBC. The work on this framework originates from student and community feedback and the desire to:

Enable better collaboration across the University on recreation and improve program diversity

Increase awareness of recreational opportunities available and the associated health benefits

Build support and opportunities for informal recreation in the workplace and on campus

Enable individuals to build and develop community through recreation
